Barut Lara

It was an absolutely amazing experience. I’ve tried several resorts in Antalya, and this one was by far the best. The service was exceptional .. the staff are truly well-trained and know exactly how to treat their guests. The vibes were great, the food was very good, and the app made everything easier by showing the full program and all the facilities. The spa was incredible. I’m truly grateful to Dani for her professional, fabulous massage and Turkish hammam , the best I’ve ever had. It’s genuinely a wonderful place with excellent staff and a variety of room options, whether you prefer having a private pool or not. We will definitely come back.

I was there right before the end of the season in the first week of October and had a great experience. The resort is absolutely beautiful and very well kept. It took me a while to decide where to stay since many places had mixed reviews, but I’m glad I chose this one. It’s super family friendly, so you’ll find lots of families with kids around, just something to keep in mind if that’s not your vibe. The only downside is that it’s extremely difficult to get reservations at the à la carte restaurants. The Sandals restaurant was excellent, the sushi spot was just okay, and I’d probably skip the Turkish restaurant, The Turkish buffet makes up for it, there was an à la carte restaurant with breakfast service nearby our rooms that was good too with no need for reservations.The main buffet was great, the daily rotation of meats at dinner was interesting. Beach chairs do get reserved pretty early, but they do a good job at letting people know that they can just leave their towel towels and go for our hours. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Special shoutout to Bouchra from guest relations for making the stay extra special.

What an amazing experience. This is our fourth annual trip to an all inclusive hotel and this far surpassed every other holiday. The hotel and surrounding were flawlessly maintained and impeccably clean. The food was to a high standard and the variety of food was incredible. Drinks were excellent with all branded spirits and beers. The highlight of the holiday was the kids club. The whole team made a massive efforts with my kids making their holiday feel special. They learnt their names, taught them Turkish phrases and helped create so many happy memories. Thank you so much and much love to Gizem, Cennet, Sevda, Gülperi & Jenya ❤️🇹🇷❤️

Amazing trip - felt like every member of staff couldn’t do enough for us. Great facilities throughout the complex and our side/pool view room was spacious and well appointed. All of the restaurants served great food and had excellent service - buffet had wide ranging menus and excellent food while the a la cartes were a really nice way to switch it up for a “night out”. Spa and heated pools were great and the staff there really friendly (and gave great massages). Will certainly return.

We had a wonderful stay in September for 2 weeks as a couple (bit late posting the review). Hotel was clean, grounds were lovely and the rooms were great. We checked in and initially had twin beds, and reception were very quick to change this for us when we asked.||The staff were always friendly and willing to help with special mention to Sait, Oclay, Murat, Eren, Erat, Vedat in the restaurants/bars. We have to say a huge thank you to Bilal who served us breakfast in the a la carte each morning - his recommendations of Turkish drinks, general banter and chats were wonderful. I am coeliac so can't eat gluten and my partner has a nut allergy, so we are a bit difficult. The staff here were incredible with us, making sure we could eat. We spoke with guest relations everyday to ensure a meal could be prepared in advance at the restaurants. The staff would be able to tailor meals and I even got Gluten free ninja rolls at the sushi bar. Melike at guest relations was incredible at ensuring this went smoothly each day for me, which was great.||Outside of the food, we took part in yoga, bungee fitness and fly yoga with Seval, and archery with Amigo. They were both super friendly, really great members of the team. Amigo would often come and have a chat with us too when he saw us! There was a lot of other sports and activities going on too but we didn't take part in any of these.||The entertainment at night was good, but we preferred the singers over the live shows. The entertainment is on a weekly rotation so the only thing that could make it better would be a two week rotation instead. We were also lucky to be there during the Oktoberfest event which was really cool.||The hotel is lovely, the staff were incredible and we had a wonderful holiday.

We had such an amazing stay! The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the grounds were absolutely beautiful — so well cared for. There was so much for the kids (4 years and 18 months) to enjoy too including the outdoor pool being heated, the splash park, playgrounds, mini disco, kids shows, and they absolutely loved the kids club! A special thank you to Sevda, Rosa Gulperi, Jenya, Gizem, and Cennet for being so wonderful with our children. You truly went above and beyond to make sure they had the best time every time they stepped into kids club. Our little girl adored you all and was so sad when it was time to leave! The variety of activities at the kids club was fantastic, and it was clear how much effort the team put into making everything fun and engaging for all ages. The smiles, hugs, and warm family feel are all thanks to these amazing ladies — you made our holiday extra special! Thankyou!

We booked here largely on the strength of the reviews on Tripadvisor and are so glad we did. All the superlatives are true and this is a fantastic resort in every aspect. ||Clearly a lot of thought went into the design and furnishing of the villas. There is not a thing they have not thought of and the specification is suitably high-end. ||The service provided by every staff member was superb: from the team that responds to WhatsApp (almost instantly) to the staff that look after you so well in the Bayou Lounge/Weik Restaurant and room service. ||The Beach Pavilions are a wonderful included extra: a tranquil haven on a secluded part of the beach with the same fantastic Bayou service. ||Overall, it’s a fantastic blend of secluded luxury with the benefit of access to the wider variety of options offered by the Lara Barut resort. ||Yes, there is an extra cost to staying here over the main resort but it is definitely worth it. For us it’s a case of when, not if, we return.

I would not recommend this hotel - does not reflect the ultra all inclusive, you cannot book the a la carte and the food is awful. Not suitable for people with allergies - they dont label things correctly and you cant make out what label corresponds to which item. EVERTYHING contained egg, nothing for vegans or vegetarians. I do not think it is worth the money we paid for the all inclusive - meals were always all the same, nothing new. Pizza and chips everyday lunch and dinner. We stayed a family of 5 here for a week and we would not return. The pool beds were always reserved and no one policed them. There were periods where they didn't serve food anywhere. Cross contamination was rife - people using the same tongs for the meat and then the chips etc the customer service was non existent. On one day we were served avo toast with bacon on it - having expressed to the waiter Bilal in Turunc - all vegan please, then when it arrived we said we asked for fully vegan version - and GUESS WHAT he took it back and they removed the bacon and served the same thing back to us again, we were furious as we still saw some bacon bits on it. He just shrugged his shoulders and then ignored us throughout our stay. The yoga instructor Attia was nice, always on time and ready to give you a good session. Thats about it - save your money and go somewhere where they appreciate what a 5 star package is.

Repeat customer who wanted to stay at all locations and have recommended this chain to family and friends but this location has turned us off on booking future locations going forward. Save your money and stay at more reputable resorts. Seems like Barut has changed and is going through difficult times and only caters to the select few.
